Social – Behind the Cart, Pork & Cheese

Several mobile food vendors are getting together to put on an underground dinner that will end with an informal discussion. Michael Davidson modeled Behind the Cart after VH1’s Behind the Music. With the first event in San Francisco only few months ago, this is the first Behind the Cart in the East Bay. The theme: America, the Bold and Tasty. By the way, there are only a few tickets left, so don’t wait if you’re interested.
